Considering the popular stereotype of Elvis as a racist, it's nice to hear someone with actual facts at his disposal that can shatter that distasteful myth.

This is a good overview of what makes Paul McCartney such aa special talent. Although I disagree with guest Richard Goldman on the merits of McCartney's "Memory Almost Full" album (it was no revelation to me as Paul has been on firm musical ground since the early 90's) I welcomed this long overdue look at his songwriting.
I was hoping for more interviews and less bits from the Monty Python records but this is still a nice greatest hits package with a few comments from the legendary troupe.
This is an excellent short piece about the often overlooked blues stylings of Presley and offers comparisons to the original Blues records Presley learned from.

GREAT show!
Elvis Presley's REAL comeback was this album and it's about time this classic LP got the respect it's due.

What a great idea for a show. You'll have fun (and cringe) at some of these comparisons.

Review of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds
A very good overview on the emerging phenomenon of the Pet Sounds album and how it rehabilitated the Beach Boys' reputation in the 90's.
